Hi Kevin,
I changed the API for Authenticator a little, so that it would be
consistent with the new Registrar:
canAuthenticate(AuthenticationRequest)
is now
canAuthenticate(Class<? extends AuthenticationRequest).
In other words, it's the means by which the AuthenticationManagerStandard
askes each Authenticator whether it can authenticate a particular *type of*
AuthenticationRequest, rather than an actual AuthenticationRequest.
My guess is that you have a canAuthenticate(AuthenticationRequest) method
which doesn't have an @Override on it, and so the compiler didn't flag that
this is no longer an overriding method?
If so, you should change it, eg:
boolean canAuthenticate(AuthenticationRequest request) {
return request instanceof AuthenticationRequestPassword;
}
is now
boolean canAuthentication(Class<? extends AuthenticationRequest>
requestType) {
return AuthenticationRequestPassword.class.isAssignableFrom(requestType);
}
~~~
Let me know how you get on...
